JOEL OSTEEN | $10.5 MILLION, RIVER OAKS

At first, Joel Osteen didn’t want to become a pastor, which was also his father’s profession. Instead, he preferred behind-the-scenes work and produced his father’s sermons for 17 years. Along the way, he finally accepted his father’s suggestion and gave preaching a try. Since then, Joel has become one of the most-recognized pastors in the scene, with his televised sermons garnering millions of viewers in just the US alone.

Joel is also an author, having written the best-seller Your Best Life Now and Become a Better You. With all the endeavors he’s done through the years, it comes as no surprise that he’s earned a fortune along the way, and a portion of that investment money surely went to his family’s home. Located in River Oaks, Houston, Joel bought this sanctuary for $10.5 million. Along with its six bedrooms and six bathrooms, it also features a pool, a pool house, and an all-around view of the lush green surroundings.
